OPTRON : Possible conversion to Crossfit

Its not a given and if I can sort out my injuries, it wont happen but due to occurring injuries and three stress fractures in a two year period because of excessive and intense running sessions, I am considering a possible conversion to Crossfit.

If I do the conversion, I will give myself 6-8 months to get accustomed to Crossfit workouts and then try to compete competitively as its in my nature. Don't do anything for fun...

My Stats:

Hight: 185
Weight: 87kg
Fat %: Not much, will try to upload a photo. I am not a poser so will try to find one.
Training: am - Weights pm - Cardio @ 6-7 days a week.

Cycle:

Last cycle ended June 2016, thus 7 months clean.

Started GW 2 weeks ago and Ostarine last week. 7 weeks left then mini pct.


What I want to know:

What is the ideal height/weight ratio?

What is the basic lifts and weights that I would have to be able to do in the Elite devision?

Any other factors I need to take into consideration for a smooth conversion?

Lean Bugger!

Please keep me updated on your GW and Ostarine cycle progress... What dosages you running?

I am contemplating GW and MK677 for at least 20weeks but going g to Use LP one cap of each

Haha, thanks Rooi Bul. Lot of bloed, snot en sweet...

I am trying to have the perfect balance between being as strong as possible, but also as light as possible and that is really hard to achieve and then to maintain.

GW501516 @ 10 weeks : 20mg per day split into 10mg am / 10mg pm
Ostarine @ 8 weeks : 15mg per day am.

Will update on this thread.

So far I am really happy with the result. Currently I dont even use a protein, only GW & Ostarine. I dont punish myself by trying to eat healthy, I just dont eat unhealthy, if you know what I mean.

Perfect weight and length. Anything above 190m becomes an issue when competing and lifting shit from the ground against the shorter guys.

You need a pound or two extra but we can sort that out on many ways

+1 looking lean, good job

Thank you Oupa! No doubt I will make use of your knowledge, once the time come, to condition perfectly!

Are you getting avulsion type stress fractures, or more classic impact type? Have you investigated why you get them? Tried modifying training methods? There are some interesting studies on it. For what personal experience is worth, I believe that inflexibility, plus over-training, especially increasing mileage too quickly, led to my stress fractures

@ Fillet: Thanks big guy, appreciate coming from you.

@ mack: Thanks for the reply. More the classic impact type. I have a few theories, but mainly it's due to overtraining. The things is, I didn't have a good base when I suddenly started with the running session. I wasn't conditioned at first. The last time I ran was my rugby day back in school. Also combined with that, I used winny before my first fracture... After that developed tendon problems, went in for surgery and the trouble just always returned when I tried to pick up my running. I might have been to eager, so overtraining might be to blame.

This time I am trying a different approach in my training methods. Lot more focus ons conditioning and cross-training.

This will however be my last effort. If this again should turn out in some sort of fracture, then I am over to Crossfit. I can manage moderate running quit fine, it's when approaching 3:30/km when problem arise.

don't be discouraged. I had 5 stress fractures - 4 tibial, 1 pelvic - and still had some of the best years of my life out on my tri-bike and in the rivers on the east coast. A life of training is an endless learning curve. Noakes says never accept the advice of a non-training medico - listen, read the studies, and find what works for you. Bone-remoddelling during stress happens automatically. If you can hold off the heavy demands on the tibia etc until bone has been re-deposited, it may make the difference.I got to do ultras eventually, some of the happiest hours of my life, Keep at it man..

@ mack, thanks for the encouraging words brother, +1. It sometimes just becomes frustrating when you nearing peak fitness after a lot of blood, sweat and tears, to just succumb to another stress fracture and have to start all over again.

This time around, I am definitely going to try a new and different approach and also be a little more patient while building up to full fitness.

Not be be negative, but should the running once again get the better of me, I am definitely converting to Crossfit. I do think that if I commit, I can be very competitive in the Elite category! But for now, I will still focus on Obstacle Course Racing!

Hi Optron.

Good Luck Strength and all the best for you... What normally fracure? Your shins or ankles?

Are you currently recovering? Or are you heal up up after a operation or fracture?

Thanks Rooi Bul. Tibia Stress Fractures, last one developed into a proper fracture. I am finished with 12 weeks of proper rehab, started with conditioning and slowly jogging again every second day. In the meantime I am hitting upperbody and cross-training hard. Cross-training mainly consist of rowing, Versa-climber, cycling, arc-training and aqua-jogging. Mentally it's draining but it does the job.

You should add 50mg Nandrolin to your cycle OPTRON

Dankie Oups. Dalk n stupid vraag, ek leer nog elke dag by julle, maar is Nandrolin en Deca dieselfde ding?

Nandrolin is die hormoon, deca is die ester

Deca long ester
NPP short ester - N androlone P henylP ropionate

Verstaan ek reg dat jy dan 50mg NPP voorstel?

Ek lees bietjie op en doen my huiswerk en sien dat dit goeie eienskappe besig om bene en tendons te versterk. Ek het egter net nog nooit met dit te doen gehad of self gebruik nie, daarom dat ek eerder vra en net seker maak ek verstaan jou reg.

As jy praat van 50mg, bedoel jy 50mg eod? Ek neem aan vir 'n tydperk van ongeveer 8-10 weke?

Dankie vir die raad, ek is baie nuuskierig om dit verder te ondersoek en heel moontlik deel te maak van my cycle!

Yes 50mg n week by jou huidige cycle of sit dit by in jou volgende cycle. As jy nie op cycle is nie, 50mg npp 2 keer n week so ja die totaal is 100mg n week. Met hcg 500iu per week van week 2 af tot week 10. Daarna pct 1.

Jy gaan n moerse verskil voel binne 2 weke. Jy kan even so laag tot met 50mg n week.

Thanks Oups, ek gaan dit onmiddelik begin reel. +1

Split ek PGW se 150mg NPP in 50mg shots, of kry mens n 50mg of 100mg dose?

Gaan met PGW jy weet dit split net op in 50mg per injection met NPP kan jy wegkom met Maandag Donderdag maar vir jou doeleindes.

Anavar also has some good healing benefits it also boosts Collagen turn over rates.

Ek het PGW NPP gebruik 0.25ml twee keer n week. Perfek gewerk.
